CHS Community Post | New Head of Giddens School

IMG_9701Dr. Morva McDonald officially begins her tenure as Head of Giddens School, Wednesday, July 1st.

Morva’s appointment as Head of School was announced in January 2015 after an intensive nationwide search to find a successor to Robert Kogane. Morva’s proven educational leadership, expertise in social justice education and strong academic, educational and philanthropic partnerships provide her with an exceptional foundation to help Giddens reach its potential. As one Giddens parent commented, “Morva is able to describe the uniqueness and impact of our school in a way that is illuminating and inspiring, and makes me very excited about Giddens’ future.”

As a parent of a Giddens alum (’15) and a current Giddens student, Morva knows Giddens well and is fully committed to the school’s vision, values and educational philosophy. She was thrilled and excited to learn of her appointment and said, “I’m honored to have the opportunity to lead the school and to work with such a high quality staff, engaged parent community, and great students.”

Morva earned a Ph.D. in Administration and Educational Policy and a M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction at Stanford University after serving as an elementary school teacher in San Francisco.

Please join us in welcoming Morva to Giddens School and to our community.
